Three days passed since I walked out of Drex's house.

I had only messaged him once to ask how he was feeling, and his reply was that he was better.

When he asked why I'd left, I didn't answer.

Because I figured there was no reason to.

The kiss had replayed in my head more times than I'd want, so I decided to distract myself with work.

“Do you not see the flaw in this design?” I kept my tone professional as I reviewed a design submitted by one of the high ranking workers.

It was clear he was ho

  • His Ex-wife Returned... Powerful!   102

    “Now dear, I'm going to let Kelesky in, so if she asks, whose child are you carrying?”“Drex's.” She answered confidently, so I smiled, patting her cheek lightly before walking down to the door.A thought crossed though.If Lisa could have a child, was it possible that Rachel actually had one too? Could I really be a grandma without even realizing?I made a mental note to figure that out. For now…My feet halted once I reached the door and their voices tore through from outside.“You have to marry her, not just to keep her dignity, but for the child.” Kelesky was saying. “Do you know how stressful it'd have been for you if your dad and I didn't get married?”“What century do you think we're in?” Drex huffed. “At this point, I won't kill myself just so you can believe that I'm not the dad, but get one thing, mom… I'm not getting married to anyone because of anything.“Especially a child that isn't mine.”My fingers curled at my side.He must listen to his mother. He had better.“Drex R

    “What?” I didn't even realize when I moved a good foot back, brows dropping to a frown.Cassie was pregnant? “Are you sure?” I had to ask because somehow, that did not seem possible in my head.But this doctor nodded. “It's still very early. We'll need more tests to determine how far along the baby is”“Cassie's pregnant?” Mom's hands flew to her mouth. She stared wide-eyed at me, before laughing out loud.“Oh my freaking goodness! Drex, you… Wow.”Trish looked equally shocked. “Is she awake? Can I see her?”“Yes, but she's still a little shaken so I'll advise you not to crowd her space. Maybe only one person should go for now.”Trish hadn't even let the doctor finish, before she brushed past her into the room, while I stood there, unsure what to even think about this.Was this good news?Of course it was. It could mean Cassie's obsession over me may be reducing.At least to a point where she could have sex and get pregnant for someone else.Wow.“I'm going to be a grandma.” Mom soun

    – Lisa Red –After Drex left, I just sat back down, burrowing my head deep in the couch’s softness.“My friends says their parents live together. Why doesn't daddy stay with us?” Imogen asked in that soft tone of hers that made my heart squeeze.I didn't even know how to reply, so I just said, “It's complicated, dear.”She sighed loudly, then went to hop on the chair Drex had been sitting, when her brows furrowed. “Daddy's wallet?”“What are you saying?”She stretched forth a wallet. “This is for daddy, right?”“Let me see.”When she scurried over, I took it from her and checked inside. It had Drex's ID and business card in it.“Oh, he must've dropped it by mistake. Can you check if he's still outside and give it to him?”“Okay!” Her little legs were already running out after she took the wallet, when I said, “If you don't see him when you step out of the gate, then come back.”“Okay, mummy!”Imogen hadn't even gone more than two minutes when she came running back inside, still holdin

    After the photo, we left back to the mansion, where we ate dinner already made by Avaline, then went to sleep.The next morning, I helped Imogen get ready, before doing so myself.Drex was already making breakfast when we went to the kitchen.“Morning.” He greeted as he flipped the pancakes onto the plate.“Can we return to the beach again? I want to meet Justin.” Imogen asked excitedly.“Sorry hon, we're traveling back today. You have school, remember?” I went to take a bottle of water from the fridge and took a gulp of it.“Awww.” Her face fell, so I added. “Don't worry, we'll come back some other time. I promise.”“Really?”“Hmm mmh.”That succeeded in making her excited again.We had pancakes and cold tea for breakfast, chatted for a long while, before it was time to go.A driver drove us to the airport, and soon, we were on a plane back to California.The ride lasted about five hours, before we arrived.Imogen slept the entire ride and she was all energetic when we left the airpo

    The next day turned out to be more fun than I expected.It began with us making breakfast and eating it together, then we took Imogen snorkeling. After, we went hiking, then toured some of the famous roads.By afternoon, we left to a nice restaurant where I listened to Imogen talk about why we should have a pet dog. She literally talked for one whole hour, and when I said no, she asked Drex if he would.Of course, he had to make me look like the bad one when he told her he'd think about it. He flashed me a wink after.By sunset, we went to the beach. Imogen and Drex built a sand castle while I laid under a shade, eyes closed and I allowed myself to feel relaxed.This was fun. Who would've thought that going on a vacation could be this interesting.“Mind if I join?” Drex's voice made my eyes open to where he stood beside me.“Nah.”When he lowered himself beside me, I asked. “How ‘bout Imogen?”He shrugged. “She made a new friend and clearly doesn't need me interrupting whatever that

    Friday arrived sooner than I thought. The days were so work filled that each one felt like a repetition of the previous. It was mainly because of my half a billion dollar project I was handling (the main reason I moved back to California in the first place).The CEO of the company had a really busy schedule, just like me. It was only that day we were both free to meet and discuss the project.Something so important that I almost cancelled going on a vacation with Imogen and Drex, but then my daughter seemed so excited all week that I felt terrible even thinking about postponing our moment together.It'd only prove her point how I rarely gave her time.So, after much consideration (and a lot of hesitation), I had Irea postpone the meeting till further notice.And now, I was on my way to Hawaii.Hawaii!!! So far from home!!Oh God.My eyes were shut the entire ride as I tried to convince myself this was a good idea.That going somewhere far away with Drex and Imogen wasn't weird at all
